I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays. You can't go anywhere without meeting clever people. The thing has become an absolute public nuisance. I wish to goodness we had a few fools left. ALGERNON: We have. JACK: I should extremely like to meet them. What do they talk about? ALGERNON: The fools? Oh! about the clever people of course. JACK: What fools.

Oscar WildeI like Wagner's music better than anybody's. It is so loud that one can talk the whole time without other people hearing what one says.
Oscar WildeAnd when wind and winter harden All the loveless land, It will whisper of the garden, You will understand.
Oscar Wilde
